Hi all, please be gentle with me. - Battosai - 07-04-08

Hi,

I've been looking around the 'net for a pair of Limited Edition Red Hot Chilli Pepper Superstars.. in my size... which is where the problems tend to start..

see, I'm a rather large sized 12,13 or even 14 depending on the manufacturer and often find that a 12 in a certain brand is ill-fitting compared to a 12 in another. So with my Adidas (which tend to be incredibly small and narrow) I would tend to need a 13 or 12 that I squeeze into, with some discomfort, oh the pains of being a footwear freak.

I'm not exactly sure where this site is based, but do see a lot of European and moreover, English posters on here, which is encouraging because importing footwear in tends to be a headache (in my experience.)

Um. I own about 45 pairs of footwear and about ten pairs of Adidas in that. Most have never been worn other than to try them on, but will one day see the light of day, I promise them that much

Bought a pair of superstar Chicago Bulls off of MrShoeShotta and also have a pair of adicolor Dark Horses, which I love to bits and take out of the box from time to time simply to gaze at.

I am really into the Superstars and can see myself purchasing 10-15 pairs of them over the next year (shoe size availability permitting)

I'm here to learn and educate myself in the ways of the Shoe-Force, and will be reading in on as many threads as possible, especially on how to spot not-so-obvious fakes as that's alarming to my naive eyes.

Cheers,

Hope my intro hasn't bored you to tears.

From now on I'll be giving no more than a sentence or paragraph anywho.

Quite an in-depth intro (more than some people manage! )

However, you did omit certain details:
Who you are, where you're from, stuff like that.
Let us know what you're about, aside from the size of your feet, and podt up some pics fo your collection.

That aside, welcome to the best (and only) superstar forum in the world.

There ya go, now we can find you!
BTW, you are right, this is a UK based forum, although it is a global community. Didn't realise we had any giants in this country. Most of the big feet live in the states.
As for the Chillis, like Pokey says, join the queue These guys find it hard enough finding them in average sizes, I think finding them in a 12 or higher is gonna be a quest of Indianna Jones proportions.
Good luck.

Cheeky bugger!

It's hard being 'outsized' that's for sure.

Sometimes I squeeze my feet into an 11 if they are absolute must haves, but that's corn and blister city.

Sure you wanted to know that!

Welcome fella!

Another big foot to the forum....

Only kidding, corn & blister city eh? I visit there when I wear my Underworlds!!! if you looking for big sizes in the 35th's may i suggest www.pickyourshoes.com as they have the odd massive size in the IB's & the RHCP's (it was a while back now) but worth checking. Size? also have a large shoe section.

Glad to have you on board

Peace
